Dexter: Original Sin Premieres on Paramount+ Today

Dexter fans, rejoice! The new series Dexter: Original Sin began streaming today on Paramount+! If you loved the original series, you won’t want to miss this prequel featuring young Dexter navigating his college studies in medicine. Get ready to see his father and sister Debra back in action, with Dexter Morgan himself, Michael C. Hall, making a special appearance.

The debut episode is packed with references and nods to the original show that will have you laughing in recognition. You’ll learn how Dexter’s career path took a sharp turn towards blood splatter analysis and get reacquainted with some of your favorite characters from the original series (albeit played by new actors).

Debra is still the same old potty-mouthed high schooler, not yet at the comedic cursing levels of her adult self. The cast includes Christian Slater as Dexter’s father, Harry; Christina Milian as Lieutenant Maria Guerta; Patrick Dempsey as Captain Aaron Spencer; Sarah Michelle Gellar as Tanya Martin; James Martinez as Angel Batista; and Alex Shimizu as Vince Masuka. Keep an ear out for Masuka’s signature crazy laugh that will have you chuckling along with the audience.

Initial reactions from Dexter fans are overwhelmingly positive, with many agreeing that the debut episode exceeds expectations. Tune in to Paramount+ today to catch the new series, and if you’re feeling nostalgic, binge-watch the original eight seasons of Dexter along with the follow-up mini-series, Dexter: New Blood. It’s a Dexter-packed streaming extravaganza you won’t want to miss!
